Procedural Posture

Action for Annulment / Order on Admissibility (preliminary Objection)

  1. 1 Whether the applicant association has standing to seek annulment of the Commission's renewal of glyphosate approval; whether the contested act is a regulatory act without measures of execution under Article 263(4) TFEU; whether the applicant or its members are directly and individually concerned by the act.

Ratio Decidendi

The applicant association and its members are not individually concerned by the contested act, which is of general application and affects all consumers, citizens, and wheat producers equally. The act entails measures of execution at Member State level (renewal of marketing authorisations), so it is not a regulatory act without measures of execution. Therefore, the action is inadmissible under Article 263(4) TFEU.

Court Disposition

Action dismissed as inadmissible.

Orders

  • The action is rejected as inadmissible.
  • No need to rule on the applications to intervene.
